HACKENSACK — The Bergen County Freeholders bought themselves more time to decide whether to dissolve the Bergen County Police Department, the Record reported.

The Freeholders on Wednesday night postponed until Oct. 3 a vote to make the department part of the Sheriff's office.

Freeholder David Ganz said he wanted to hear more from Sheriff Michael Saudino, who is in Italy this week, and County Prosecutor John Molinelli. Freeholders Maura DeNicola and Robert Hermansen, the two votes against the ordinance, also voted against delaying the decision.
